[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
Howdy all,

Recently had my tablet fall off the dresser and it landed on the -only- corner not protected by my case.

Luckily, I had purchased an ADH (accidental damage & handling) plan through Geek Squad when I bought it, so I got a new one (after some hassles and incorrectly-entered orders).

So I'm currently sitting with my brand-new tablet, still locked and not rooted. But before I go head-first into flashing ROM's and everything again, I just wanted to ask a few questions and get clarification about some other projects I've wanted to pursue:

Just want to preface that I already know how to root, unlock, and flash ROM's. I'm very comfortable with all aspects of those processes.

1) I saw in this thread that the OP was asking about how to install Kernels.....I also have the same question but moreso, where is there a list of kernels available to install?

2) I have been reading about this NVFLASH thing but wanted to get more info. From my understanding, if I use NVFLASH after unlocking, I will be able to revert back to the ICS bootloader at any time? Does this mean that I'll be able to protect my ICS bootloader, but if I wanted to/accidentally upgrade to JB in the future I can go back? I really don't like that JB disables Flash Player and would rather stick with ICS, but if all further development is on JB then I'll deal with it.

Think that's all the questions I have right now. Going to be documenting my steps thoroughly and posting a guide hopefully soon.

Thanks for any help,

So I'm following the guide for NVFlash and got the files created but I can't enter APX mode....I try holding volume UP + power but it just boots regularly to Android....am I doing something wrong? I googled "tf300t apx mode" but NO ONE has any instructions about how to actually ENTER APX mode; it's mostly threads from people who are bricked and want to use APX mode to recover stuff.

Any help?

The way I got into APX mode:

Turn off tablet

Plug in USB cable into the tablet ONLY!

Hold vol+ button

Plug in USB cable into PC/Laptop

Wait for it

Check if Windows shows APX in device manager, the tablet remains black/off. So you think the tablet is off, but it is in APX mode. If it shows up in dev.manager you can release the vol+.

I just wanted to clarify 1 thing, you've got a brand new tablet, correct? Are you sure it has ICS on it and not JB? Just wondering because if it's JB, NVflash won't work.

Most of the tabs coming in here now have JB on them. Once in awhile a new one with ICS will show up but not often.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
Thank you everyone for the quick responses.

Wetbiker 7 - yes I am positive it is on ICS. The tablet is a TF300T that I got as a replacement for my old cracked one. I was given a loaner TF300T (in black, 16GB) and that had JB on it, but I'm guessing that the ones that best buy had in stock were all ICS because none have been connected to the internet since manufacture for the update. My android version shows up at "4.0.3" in my settings as well.

I've gotten my device into APX mode only twice (by accident, because I still can't figure out the key presses) and I keep getting the error below. Can anyone help? I'd love to get NVFlash working so I can get back to a rooted and custom flashed tablet soon.

Try to launch the Cmd.exe as" adminstrator "

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
I am running it as an adminsitrator. If you look at the title bar of the command prompt, it says "administrator". I manually opened a command prompt as admin, same result.

Maybe I should ask for clarification on which blob.bin I should be using? Is it the one that was generated with the NVFlash files? I have all those NVFlash files and everything in the same folder as my fastboot/adb and wheelie.exe file, just to make things easier.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
I'm in the IRC channel if anyone would be willing to help me try to figure this out.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
I hung out in the IRC channel for about 30 minutes but got the next step of the process working while waiting.

So what I realized was that my files that I generated initially weren't correct. Either when I copied them over or when they were generated, all the file sizes were 0KB. So I re-generated the files and ran the wheelie command and it worked.

Now I'm in the bootloader screen I guess, but I am unable to get the NVFlash command working. If anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Perhaps via PM or on the IRC channel just to expedite this porcess.

I am documenting all my steps and will be writing a guide so hopefully that helps anyone else in the future!!

**EDIT** Solved my issue. I'm a moron, and didn't download the NVFlash binaries (the actual .exe executable file) when I downloaded all the files from the androidroot.mobi website. Once I figured that out, I was able to send all the NVFlash commands and generate all my files correctly!!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Hi,

I can't get WiFi tethering to work on my device, even though the ROM specifications imply that it is compatible and tested to work.

Basically, the problem is that when I activate the WiFi tether, the process goes smoothly and it becomes active, but none of my devices can see the SSID of my X8. I tried to scan for it both with my laptop and the Xperia Arc S device, and wasn't able to find it, albeit my laptop on one occasion actually managed to see it and connect to it successfully. When I tried the next time, the X8 wasn't there anymore.

I tried both the Wireless tether for root users app, and Barnacle wifi tether. Both have the same issue. I've also tried rotating through the channels and adding encryptions.

ROM is FroyoPro v2.5 and kernel is stock. I've read somewhere that stock kernel doesn't support WiFi tethering, but keep in mind the creator of the ROM tested it on stock kernel successfully, and I actually managed to connect to the device on a single occasion. Something else must be the issue.

Anyone else with the same problem? And possibly a fix? :)

EDIT: I've read that most phones can't connect to your WiFi tether because it's ad hoc mode. Is that the case here? And if it is, is it possible to make our X8 broadcast in infrastructure mode?

Had a few more successful connections to the laptop. No luck so far on Xperia Arc S.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superuser_:
Your answer is in your post
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gogeta:
so how to remove that ad hoc???????

any idea???
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
As far as I can see, an app called WiFi tether is the only one capable to set up an infrastructure mode, but your ROM and kernel must support it. Also, most phones support searching for infrastructure networks and don't support ad hoc at all. I can't unlock my bootloader so I can't investigate this any further.

For now, Barnacle wireless tether is the only one that works for me, probably because it supposedly loads its own drivers, and I can connect to my X8 only from a computer.

I'm really getting annoyed with the stock kernel. One day I'm going to get drunk somewhere, and when I come home I'm going to attempt to unlock it. I swear :) (11w41)

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
I did try that, and it doesn't work even though the fix for tethering is installed in v2.5. Also, another thing that is annoying with it is that I have to reboot after each use, or else normal wifi wouldn't work. Barnacle is the only thing that works at the moment.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenkie9999999:
Good morning everyone.

I'm looking for help from anyone who can help me.

I'm looking for a rom that works well wi-fi tethering.

Barnacle does not work for me on all roms I've tried.

I'm a little desperate.

I'm waiting for someone to help me .....

I've tried much more rom like JB and ICS, but nothing to do.......

At the start, it works well, very fast, but after 5 minutes the display goes black, the network is disconnected and no longer works.

HELP ME!!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kevchaps:
I've been doing alot of searching, haven't found a definitive answer.

My question. Can the "Mylibrary.apk" work on the n7? I have pushed my copy of the apk to /system /app to no avail. Won't even open, crashes to "unfortunately, Mylibrary has stopped". I've also changed file permissions appropriately.

I know, that should give me the answer I need, but I'm curious if maybe I need more than just the apk, so that's what I'm looking for, an answer to this question. Do I need anything else, other than a TF101, to make it work?

It's not about finding a book app, I could just use the nook app. I like Mylibrary from Asus.

Thanks for any responses
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lukkypuggy:
Do we need any special libs or Modded resolutions?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kevchaps:
Exactly what I'm wondering. Guess I could've been that straightforward as well :P

I know I had it running on my n7 before, but had to remove it to update, I believe, and I can't for the life of me remember where I got the info on installing it

If it matters, I'm on rooted 4.1.2. Also if it matters, I have my dpi set at 160
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] abhayy:
I have a TF101 and the MyLibrary app doesnt even work with CM10 or CM9 on that. You need ASUS framework for it.

Hello,

I have been having terribly slow data speeds on ATT in Alabama. I thought after my bill cycle renewed that it would get better. But my bill cycle renewed on January 16th and I'm still getting slow data. Slower than I have ever gotten like 1 megabit per sec to 3 megabits per sec. I usually get 4 to maybe 7 megabits per sec. Is anyone else having issues in Alabama?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sivaseraphim:
I'm not from Alabama so I'm not really sure how strong the signal is around your area and if it's normal or not. I suggest you try the Network Signal Speed Booster from the Play Store (sorry I'm not able to post links yet since I'm below 10 posts) and see if it improves anything. What the app does is reset your phone's radio connection and find the nearest cell site so you can receive better signals. I hope this helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caddyman1989:
Thank you. can you tell me which app though whose the creator?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
You can also change your apn, that is if att has you partitioned for "4g smartphone plan". I walked in, requested a new sim and made sure that receipt said "4g for smartphone". Guess that's if there's 4g in your area.. If you're interested, look up phone apn for gnex.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caddyman1989:
It depends on the month lmao. I thought that's what it was. but.... my bill cycle restarted on the jan 16 and it was still slow. I went to AT&T store yesterday. first off the guy wanted to know where i got my galaxy nexus. but he said they were having issues with their service and to download mark the spot app. but i did and it kept making me send crash reports. anyway the guy gave me a new sim card. I just put my sim card in my old HTC Inspire 4G and I got like 8 megs down. when I'm getting 1 meg down on the galaxy nexus. so I'm like WTF?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Did you get your gnex new? What radio baseband is it on? I can verify that htc phones have stronger antenna reception, but not to that extent..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caddyman1989:
yes i bought it brand new on july 2, 2012

baseband version is I9250XXLH1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Got mine just about the same time! I wonder if you were to call them and see if they are still having issues [which seems obviously not if the inspire works]. Then again, is the inspire hspa+ or lte? Is the new sim set up for hspa+ or lte? Only other thing i could think of is trying to flash a different radio, just to try them out.

Also, have you looked into the crash reports from mark the spot? Have you tried to find out why it crashes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caddyman1989:
Not sure what the issue. Att said they were having issues and yes I'm set up on hspa+ its gotten better since I used the APN the HTC inspire had. But it still goes up and down.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd.bx:
This is a very simple how-to for disabling that nerve wrecking startup sound that can not be disabled in the parameters:

Method 1 (root required)

1. root your phone with any rooted system.img

2. run the following commands:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

cd /system/media/audio/ui/

mv PowerOn.ogg PowerOn.ogg.disabled

Method 2 (root required)

Alternatively, a file explorer can be used for the same purpose: go to /system/media/audio/ui/, then rename PowerOn.ogg

Method 3 (root required)

As kindly provided by kicker63: "A quicker way is to just untick all the poweron.Ogg permissions boxes and then Reboot your phone, no more annoying startup sound. Just use Root Explorer to do this. "

Method 4 (no root required)

As kindly provided by aavvaallooss: "NO root needed if you use StartUp Manager (Free). Under Settings pick up "Enable Silent Boot"

This method may or may not work depending on your ROM.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sven_Vl:
Hey,

Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, this also doesn't disable the start-up sound. This app disables the sound at shutdown, however this doesn't do the trick on this device.

Seems like a cool app though.. :)

I think it's very strange that disabling start-up sound requires root access, and is not configurable by default.. If you think about it, a start-up sound has no use & can only cause frustration, if you need to start-up in a room full of audience..

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] deeselcyde:
Hello all,

I just ordered a new Note 10.1 from Costco.com (32 gig) and from reading reviews and such I was thrown into the world of rooting. For my job, we were given iPhones so I've really only had an iPhone and am used to the iOS. Not a fan. Have always wanted to try Android but have never been thrown into it.

Are there any good guides out there to help me better understand rooting, etc.? I understand that you have to unlock it, then flash a custom ROM. What happens when the newer version of that ROM comes out? Do you lose all of your Data? Can any mod be installed on any ROM? I just don't have a good understanding of how or what to do. Granted, I don't even have the tablet yet, however, I don't want to be completely lost when I get it. I do like the idea of rooting, given that you can install powerful apps that are only offered to rooted tablets.

This is my first post here and am hoping for some helpful responses of maybe some threads that I should read to help me understand things better.

Also, where do you find custom ROMS? Is there a certain section you have to go? Or are all the custom ROMS under the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT forum?

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] wd4oay:
Rooting gives you access to the base files of your device. Your device does not need to be "unlocked." That term refers to modifying the device to work with other carriers (i.e. Sprint, ATT, etc) other than the one it was built to work with. Basically, in order to root, you must first install a custom "recovery." CWM (Clockwork Mod Recovery) is probably the best one for our Notes. The recovery files can be downloaded in the development forums. Along with the program (Odin) that you use to get the recovery installed onto your Note. Once you have CWM installed you can then use a couple of different methods to root or install a custom rom that is already rooted (again look for these roms in the development areas of this forum). Make sure that you read and re-read the instructions that each developer lists on their forum until you feel comfortable and then follow the instructions to the letter! Not doing so can result in your Note really getting messed up. I have not rooted my note yet, however I have rooted and installed custom ROMs to several android phones that I have or have had and it can be really worth it to do so. Personally I am waiting for awhile with my Note for some easier and more reliable methods and ROMs to become available. Right now, I have a Samsung Infuse phone with CM10 installed and a Samsung Captivate with Slim Rom-Jellybean on it. I believe that early versions of both of these ROMs are already available for the Note 10.1. Of the two ROMs, I would probably go with CM10 - (Cyanogen Mod) as it seems to be more stable on my phones. Also, when you install a custom ROM on the Note 10.1, there is a binary counter that advances, that lets anyone who would have to work on it (like for warranty service), know that a custom ROM was installed and that would violate your warranty. There is already a modification available (again, in the development section), that resets this counter, so make sure that you research that too! Good Luck!!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] deeselcyde:
What are some of the main benefits to rooting then? I would think that if you have rooted a lot of phones you would for sure want your tablet rooted..?? Can you still perform mods to your tablet if it's NOT rooted? I saw someone with a cube on their homescreen with all their apps on it. It was 3D and pretty sweet looking. Will I be able to do stuff like that if I keep it stock.

Another thing, I read that you can't put apps on the expandable storage unless you root it...That is something I would like to do because I plan on putting games on it and such. Seems crappy you can't install some of the bigger apps on your 64 gig sd.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] midas69:
A lot is going to depend on which version of software you get initially on your tablet. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT let your tablet update the software when you first get it. The reason I say this is, if you have the older version of the software there is a very simple way to root your device. It's a simple install of one program and pushing a button. Very very easy.

If you get lucky and you get the older software and then root using the program I'm talking about, the next step is to spend $5 and buy Mobile Odin Pro. You can then download from here the latest software for your device and flash it using Mobile Odin with the ever root option. This will keep root on your new software. This will put you on the latest stock software and keep you rooted.

Custom ROMs can be nice. But I'd get my feet wet with the stock ROM before you start to jump into the Customs. First, stock on the Note 10.1 is pretty damn good. Second, you need to have some familiarity with what you want to be able to choose the right custom ROM to suit your needs. Finally, you'll give yourself some time to learn about your device so that you don't make a fatal mistake flashing, though most can be flashed using Mobile Odin.

Alas, if you get your Note and it turns out to have the latest ROM already, you can pretty much ignore everything I wrote.

Thank you. I'll check that out. Now, the process that you linked me to, will that give me the latest version ROM (4.2.1?). Another thing, once I root it, will I be able to have the Tablet automatically update and download 4.3, 4.4, etc. and so on? or will I have to manually download and install the new one every time it comes out?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] optimus43:
rooting

I have rooted several phones but not this tablet. Why? because for me the stock rom is good enough that I personally dont see an advantage to rooting it. Some like to root and install roms for the fun of it but I need the tablet to work and dont have time to futs around with getting to know a new rom.

I also have the impression,correct me if I'm wrong, that with custom roms you loose some of the multiscreen functionality and some of the pen functionality? If true that alone would keep me on stock.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] midas69:
There's more reasons to root other than just flashing custom ROMs. As a matter of fact, you really don't even have to root to install a custom ROM, you just need a custom recovery installed.

Personally I'm fine with the stock ROM on this tablet even though I run custom ROMs on my phones. I did have a custom ROM installed for a few weeks that was little more than the stock ROM with a few tweaks. It didn't lose any functionality with regards to multi-screen or pen. But some of the other more customized ROMs do lose functionality.
